Midkine (MK) is the product of a retinoic acid responsive gene and is a member of a new family of heparin-binding growth factors. Neurotrophic effects of MK were examined using cultured spinal cord and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons derived from fetal mouse. MK, which was added to the culture me

Miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (mEPSPs) were recorded in motoneurons grown in organotypic cocultures of embryonic rat spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia and muscle in the presence of TTX. The motoneurons were electrically compact with a mean electrotonic length of 0.6. Spontaneous EPSPs
The imrnunohistochemical distribution of microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2), being normally restricted to nerve cell bodies and dendrites, became altered in rat dorsal root ganglia and spinal cord neurons in cultures infected with rhesus rotavirus. MAP2 appeared in axons of both sources of neur
An increase in neurotrophic activity for the survival of dissociated sensory neurones has been found in the spinal cord of morphine dependent rats. This activity is not due to morphine itself and is not due to an increase in the nerve growth factor as antibodies to nerve growth factor fail to block
